O’Donnell + Tuomey, established by Sheila O’Donnell and John Tuomey in 1988, has been involved with urban design, cultural and educational buildings, houses and housing projects in Ireland, the Netherlands and the UK. Urban regeneration and landscape integrated design have been consistent themes of their partnership. They have established a critical common ground for their practice with the site-specific origins of their concepts. They have a shared belief in the continuity of social and cultural values in architecture. Their reflective practice is closely connected to their commitment to architectural education. They are currently working on university projects for the London School of Economics and the Central European University Budapest.
